The good and bad of the 49ers’ 2015 schedule

-According to the Washington Post, the 49ers have the toughest schedule in the league, based on the odds of their opponents winning the Super Bowl. Ouch.

-Good news: The team will play Pittsburgh in week two, thus missing Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell, who is expected to serve a three-game drug suspension.

-Bad news: They play five 10:00 a.m. road games and two possible cold weather games in Chicago and Cleveland back-to-back in December.

-The 49ers play Seattle Thursday night three days after playing the Ravens at home. Booo! Hate Thursday night games because they deprive players their needed rest. Additionally, the games are always sloppy because of that. Seattle-San Francisco games are always tough, defensive struggles and adding only three days of rest on top of that just doesn’t make sense.

-The next time the 49ers play Seattle, it will be after a week 10 bye week. Much better.

-Because the Raiders and 49ers both play the NFC North and the AFC North, the teams share eight common opponents, which should be interesting to watch.
